Abstract :Studies on phase equilibria data behavior of pure substances are motivation to the researchers due to importance of these data for the scientific and industrial applications. Several EOS were proposed and its modifications have been made, whose aim is to improve the correlation between experimental and calculated thermophysical properties. This work proposes a comparative study between the PVT calculated data using cubic and non-cubic equations of state, in which its original repulsive term is substituted by the Carnahan-Starling hard-sphere repulsive term; furthermore, generalized expression to calculate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tr,); and insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tr,); functions are used. Experimental data of vapor pressure for various pure compounds were compared to the calculated vapor pressure data showing satisfactory agreement, when this proposed modification is employed.
